			     IN THE DARKNESS - Mackenzie Phillips
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Kat

Tuning: Standard

After seeing all the publicity surrounding Mackenzie Phillips's recent book
 release, I remembered this song she sang for the "So Weird" theme song and
 had to check if she wrote it. It was actually written by Jon Cooksey
 (lyrics) and Annmarie Montade(music) but it's still a good song so I
 thought I'd post the chords. Enjoy! 

*Intro
Am G Am G

*Verse 1

Am
Demons come from every side 
      G					
     (In the darkness is the light)
Am
Pullin me on a downward slide 
      G	                            {and continue the Am/G pattern}
     (In the darkness is the light)
Gettin hot the deeper I go 
     (In the darkness is the light) 
Into the darkness down below 
     (In the darkness is the light) 

 { Now the ghosts come dancin by 
     (In the darkness is the light) 
Outta the shadows of my life 
     (In the darkness is the light)
All of my losses, none of my wins 
     (In the darkness is the light)  
Why do I have to face em again?           These lines were included in
     (In the darkness is the light) }  the lyrics that I found but not
                                         the version of the song I found
					  
*Chorus 1

Am                C
I live my life in one straight line 
G                    D
The future ahead and the past behind 
Am                 C
Don't wanna go back to yesterday 
G                         D
But I dont know how long I can run this way 
Am     C 
Yeah! 

*Verse 2 (same as 1)

A jungle hung with tangled vines 
     (In the darkness is the light)
I'm tangled up in my own lines 
     (In the darkness is the light) 
A creature in the darkness lies 
     (In the darkness is the light)
Why is it that he has my eyes? 
     (In the darkness is the light)

*Chorus 2

Am                   C
Ive lived my life in one straight line 
G                        D
The future ahead and the past behind 
Am                       C
Now I've hit a wall like I never knew 
G                                 D
And they tell me that the only way out is through 
Am     C 
Yeah!  

*Verse 3 (same as 1+2)

They say the truth will set me free - yeah 
    (In the darkness is the light)
Free to be down here on my knees - yeah 
    (In the darkness is the light) 
But just when I thought I'd lost my sight 
    (In the darkness is the light)
Catch a glimpse of that beautiful light 
    (In the darkness is the light)

*Chorus 3/Outro

Am              C 
In the darkness is the light 
G               D
Surrender will win the fight 
Am                  C
This girls walked through fire and ice 
G                         D
But I've  come out on the other side of 
Am
Paradise 
C       G
Oh yeah Paradise 
D
Yeah, yeah 
Am      G
My Paradise! 
Is here with you 
    D
Is here with you baby 
Am        C
Paradise 
     G	  D
Paradise 
        Am
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah 
C         Am
Paradise!
